DomainGurus provides private cloud solutions like Microsoft System Center Server Management Suite Data Center (SMSD), Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 and AppLogic. We also offer you all of the underlying hardware and a growing list of products for the construction of private cloud hosting environments, including but not limited to hypervisor operating systems like Citrix XenServer, VMware ESXi, Windows Data Center edition with Hyper-V and numerous KVM Linux operating systems.

DomainGurus will install and configure your entire network of clustered hosts, storage, and your choice of cloud OS/Software combination to create your own turnkey cloud management solution of your entire physical and virtual network.

We will configure Microsoft’s Failover Clustering and Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) as well as, create your initial virtual machine templates with High-Availability enabled. This service provides unlimited scalability and includes the installation and configuration of the following:
 

Hardware Underlying The Cloud

Base Infrastructure Redundancy

 

DomainGurus Cloud Computing platforms are all built upon fully redundant hardware infrastructure, providing 100% redundancy in all aspects of your hardware configuration with no single point of failure, from your power to your data-stream, including:
 

  • Private VLAN with Minimum 32,400GB Monthly Public Bandwidth
  • Unlimited Internal Bandwidth On All Gigabit Infrastructure. (10Gig available)
  • Redundant A/B power circuits distributed across all hardware
  • Redundant Cisco 2960 24-port Managed Gigabit Switching infrastructure (10Gig available)
  • Cisco’s GLBP / Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (dual uplinks to different upstream providers)
  • (Optional) Dual Cisco ASA-5500 Series Firewalls (active/passive) / SEC BUN K9 licenses
  • Fully Redundant SAN / NAS Storage Systems
  • Multiple Physical Server Nodes (host servers)
  • /27 Subnet (32 IP Addresses / 29 Usable)
  • Multiple Fully Redundant SAN / NAS iSCSI storage options available

 

Minimum Of Three Physical Server Node Host Servers:

 

  • Intel® Hyper-threaded VT-enabled CPUs
  • VT-enabled motherboard
  • Up to 96GB DDR3 RAM per host server node
  • SATA, SAS and Solid State Hard Drives Available
  • Minimum of 4 × 1Gbps Network Interface Cards In Every Device (10Gig available)
  • KVM-over-IP (IPMI 2.0) for remote access to BIOS and reboots

    •  

    Performance

     

    Don’t risk your business on “commodity” hardware. Whenever vendors say “commodity hardware” what they mean is “all those junky old worn-out computers that nobody wants to use.” DomainGurus provides only the latest Intel® VT-enabled hardware with hardware-assist features to accelerate fundamental virtualization processes throughout the platform to reduce latencies and avoid potential bottlenecks, giving you better value from your server and software investments.

     

    • Hardware assists boost virtualization performance by allowing the OS more direct access to the hardware.
    • Intel® VT FlexMigration enables seamless migration of running applications among current and future Intel® processor-based servers.
    • Intel® VT FlexPriority improves virtualization performance by allowing guest OSs to read and change task priorities without VMM intervention.
    • Extended Page Tables (EPT) provide better performance by reducing the overhead caused by page-table utilization of virtual machines.
    • The chipset enables directly assignable I/O to Virtual Machines, helping speed data movement and enhancing performance.

     

    Scalability

    CPU Cores

     

    DomainGurus Cloud Computing provides the ultimate in scalability, starting with only three host servers and a SAN. Each server can start with as little as one Intel® 5506 Nehalem-EN and 4GB DDR3 RAM. When you need to scale up, we can add another CPU to each of your servers doubling your total capacity to 24 cores or even upgrade your CPUs to the Intel® 5650 Westmere Hyperthreaded Hex-core for a total of 72 cores from only 3 server nodes.
    Memory

    RAM is KING in virtualization so DomainGurus provides nothing but the best DDR3 RAM. You can start with as little as 4GB DDR3 RAM each physical node, yet our motherboards scale up to 96GB which would give you 288GB of DDR3 RAM to work with. All of this is only 3 physical servers and you can scale up indefinitely by simply adding more servers.
    Storage – SAN / NAS Solutions
    Compellent

    DomainGurus is proud to offer Compellent Storage. Dell recently acquired Compellent for nearly a billion dollars, and they did so for good reasons. You can get Compellent for less at DomainGurus, Compellent is simply the most advanced storage system on Earth, yet the Unified Storage Management Interface is just too simple to believe. Compellent network storage features a unified, point-and-click interface that cuts administration time and eliminates the need for specialized skills. From storage provisioning to replication setup to report generation, the intuitive interface automates time-consuming enterprise data management tasks so your staff can focus on other important IT projects. Streamline Storage Management with Compellent:

     

    • Use intuitive wizards to guide you through complex allocation, configuration and administration functions
    • Manage individual or multiple enterprise storage systems through the same point-and-click interface
    • Monitor network storage consumption and usage automatically, eliminating manual capacity planning
    • Create and map new storage volumes of any size in less than a minute
    • Recover any size storage volume to any server in less than 10 seconds
    • Automatically restripe an existing volume across all available drives when adding more capacity
